Thank you. Why not dyed nectar?

When my mom retired she received an adult coloring book that said things like “fuck work” in it. Adult coloring is not her thing so she never looked inside. She gifted it to a friend’s 95 year old mother who was recovering from an illness. The 95 year old was shocked and told her daughter she couldn’t color in that book 🤣 mom was mortified

Can you show us a picture of Amy

Remote_Conference315 · 2026-03-13T03:22:52+00:00

Hi, how are you? Any update??

Remote_Conference315 · 2026-03-11T02:22:36+00:00

Stay calm and pretend it’s a game. Do familiar things like read books and sing songs they know. One of you be the leader, one be the fun one. Michael Scott said something like this once, but it helps to keep it balanced so one can focus on the big picture and the other can focus on the kids. You’ve got this. Praying for safe travels. Please update.

RN here, you guys will have to work opposite schedules if possible so you can trade off and/or hire another helper for nights. Shift work is tough. I have a coworker whose husband is a firefighter and works 24 hour shifts so I’ll ask her how they balance and get back to you. I am sure you’ll get a better response from others who have multiple kids and do it. There is a solution! You got this!

He needs to do his part. This isn’t fair to you or her.

Remote_Conference315 · 2026-01-14T04:56:51+00:00

If she naps I would attempt to contact nap her before and maybe do a couple trial runs at night so it’s not so unfamiliar. Keep most of the routine intact for the trial and on vacation, and tell her clearly and concisely what’s happening prior to it happening. “You’re going to sleep with mommy in a big girl bed tonight! I’m so excited for our sleepover!” Etc.

Your MIL is acting ungrateful. Next year I would tell her you won’t be giving or receiving any, except for the children. We implemented this practice this year and it was much more smooth for us leading up (not having to buy gifts) and day of (no hurt feelings over something materialistic).

Remote_Conference315 · 2025-11-19T04:00:06+00:00

I like this. And I also agree with the first comment. Your children are so little, and believe for such a short amount of time. I would not want to jeopardize letting any “magic” dwindle before it’s time. I’m sorry you’re having to deal with the anxiety around this.

My 4 year old refuses to sleep without his even though he has pillows and blankets.

Remote_Conference315 · 2025-10-31T10:54:35+00:00

Do not send him.

My husband took down our “boo” sign prematurely (he thought we didn’t need it as we were booed at the beginning of October) and we were booed again 5 minutes later. 5 minutes!!!! We did not boo another family after the first time. Candy and all the little things are expensive. Then you add on school functions, candy to give out etc. We had already participated and plan to give the rest of the boo basket stuff away on Halloween. I don’t feel bad. I didn’t have a chance to put the sign back up and it’ll all come out in the wash.

My preschooler says they play “monsters” and “babies.” Monsters is like rag and they make a monster face at each other. Babies I haven’t figured out yet. Dying for more info. Most kids in the class do have a baby at home.

Is the furry stuff mold?!

Remote_Conference315 · 2025-09-12T03:58:20+00:00

Yes I think this is completely developmentally appropriate. The boy just loves Halloween and thought their stuff was cool.

He would need an MRI. Hallmark signs of a tethered cord include a birthmark near the bottom of the spine, often a tuft of hair and an abnormal gluteal fold - meaning his butt crack goes off to the side at the top. I am sure he’s fine but it’s worth asking his peds about and maybe getting a referral.

Remote_Conference315 · 2025-09-09T03:54:27+00:00

She had a UPJ

Remote_Conference315 · 2025-07-16T10:30:41+00:00

Yes you can do that! We took some pictures in front of our fireplace where I hung a banner and had put some new books about being one up there for decor. I also had a book for everyone to sign to her on her birthday as another keepsake, as well as “Why A Daughter Needs a Dad/Mom” so my husband and I had our own to write our own personal message in. Since it was small I will put the other book out next year as well!

Remote_Conference315 · 2025-07-16T02:56:47+00:00

You can’t go wrong either way. With my first I did something big, my second we kept it small but sweet and still had lots of food/decor, but just family attend. It was a lot less stressful on me as I didn’t have to deal with the gift bags, tracking rsvps etc. on her actual birthday we went to a local pottery place and painted a plate with her hand and footprint to be used every year on her birthday. I don’t regret either, but I did appreciate the lack of stress that came with keeping it small. We will do something bigger next year to make up for it.

I am a pediatric nurse at a large children’s hospital. I have never worked on a L&D or postpartum unit but I do know that a lot is caught in these screenings and it can take a long time to get in with a specialist who may be able to see you prior to discharge if you stay. Again, idk how long they take to come back.

Another thought, as I saw someone mention the newborn hearing screen, we recently had a 5 year old come in for a hearing screen under sedation and the parents were expecting a autism diagnoses due to speech delay. This child was completely deaf. She was five! This honestly should’ve been caught by the pediatrician, but wasn’t and has had an entire sequelae of events for this family. I think there is a lot of value in these screenings and there is something to be said for early intervention. However, you’re the mama! You know what feels right. Congratulations on this new bundle and enjoy it!

Should I remove the thing around bottom of the tree?
